So neither the article or the summary actually link to the main product at hand. Convenient.

as a cloud sceptic and ubuntu user let me comment (Score:5, Informative)
a) My primary use for ubuntu one is to buy music from the ubuntu one music store. Its handy to haver everything you bought available on all laptops.
b) a second important function, which i dont use (i dont like my contact data in the cloud) is the synchronization with a mobile phone. There is no working built-in way in ubuntu which allows this.
c) for some time the service was very slow and syncronization was unpredictable, so i dont use it for serious stuff right now.
d) I would like a better integration in the desktop for start/pause sync for single folder or everything (if i am on my mobile AP i do not like to sync everything).
e) it lacks storage encryption (unless you use encfs on the top, and encfs has issues itself)
